Designing the Future: Riverside Homes Custom Welcomes Sammie Janica, Director of Operations and Design

Meet the visionary force shaping the future of luxury custom home design at Riverside Homes Custom—Sammie Janica, our dynamic new Director of Operations and Design. From the tender age of nine, Sammie’s inherent passion for interior design became the catalyst for her exceptional career in the home building industry. Smiling, she shared, “I would constantly rearrange and reorganize my bedroom, and would try to do the same with other areas inside my childhood home whenever possible.”

This innate flair propelled her to The Art Institute, where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design in 2015. Fast forward to spring 2022, and Sammie proudly claimed the NCIDQ certification, the pinnacle of achievement in the interior design industry. Sammie’s commitment to excellence is reflected in her membership with the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) and a leadership certification from Crestcom’s bullet-proof manager course.

With nearly a decade of experience as an interior designer, Sammie is a seasoned professional specializing in the art of luxury custom home design. She has honed an affinity for selecting elements that breathe life into spaces. “My favorite elements to select in new construction are tile, countertops and lighting,” declared Sammie. “These choices infuse interest and personality into a space through texture, pattern, and color.”

A Cocoa Beach native, Sammie’s love for the beach and family shines outside the design realm. As a devoted wife and mother, she enjoys exploring local spots with her husband and two boys, engaging in hobbies like painting, studying design, hiking, and hitting the gym.

Now, with boundless enthusiasm, Sammie embarks on a new journey with Riverside Homes Custom. As the Director of Operations and Design, she will streamline architectural plan reviews, guide clients through selections, enhance operational efficiency, and foster lasting relationships with clients and vendors. In addition to a professional milestone, her new role is a testament to her passion for elevating the world of luxury custom home design.

“I am excited to begin a new and exciting chapter as the Director of Operations and Design with Riverside Homes Custom,” expressed Sammie. “Joining this esteemed and professional team is an honor. I am eager to contribute my passion for luxury custom home design and efficient operations to help elevate the company’s success.” Aligning seamlessly with Riverside Homes Custom’s values of enduring relationships and crafting high-quality homes, she looks forward to bringing her expertise and experience into the team. Join us in welcoming Sammie as she leads the charge in shaping Riverside Homes Custom’s bright future.
